Firing guns and hacking at each other with machetes, axes and bats in front of terrified families, it's hard to imagine an outbreak of violence more brutal or brazen.
But just a day later this brawl would spark something far worse - the 'cartel-style' execution of a DPD driver as he went about his daily rounds.
The shocking fight at a Kabaddi tournament in Alvaston, Derby, on August 20, 2023 was compared to a 'medieval' battle by a judge, who jailed seven of the men responsible to nearly 40 years in jail.
This week the killing was featured on a BBC documentary murder 24/7.
The judge said there had been a 'conspiracy of silence' over the cause of the violence, although he read a statement from one of the men involved which stated: 'All I know is that it involved honour from one of the parties, I did not question it, it was justified.'
